[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAHD here.

I have made a habit of telling each of the other moms who come over for play dates that I am totally devoted to my DW [b]and will never flirt with them[/b], and that our friendship will be nothing more than Platonic.  I've felt this is necessary.  It has been well received, and it puts others at ease - both the moms and their partners.  [/quote]

This seems really awkward and would make me feel uncomfortable.  Just [b]emphasize your realtionship with DW[/b].  I'd get the hint - I think most women would - and feel more comfortable. [/quote]

I am the DW of the SAHD quoted above (I showed him this thread and thought he might want to comment).  The part you bolded is a style thing...this IS him emphasizing his relationship with me.  Another man might do it differently, he is just a very direct person with a certain style...  If a person is creeped out by it they are not going to be friends with DH no matter what. :)

Just didn't want the point to get lost in the style.  If OP is comfortable with directness, it could work to his advantage to dispel lingering weirdness, as it has for my DH.[/quote]
